All Train Sim World 3 players have access to this. We understand that players from around the world want to play their favourite routes and locos. Loco add-ons released after Train Sim World 3 will no longer require you to own a certain route as a requirement. These add-ons will still have a “focus” route for which they have Scenarios and Services, but this decoupling means you’ll be able to purchase any loco add-on released after Train Sim World 3 and learn how to master it in the new Training Center before you take it out on to the tracks and into Creators Club.

These new editions will contain the brand-new Training Center and one route expansion (Cajon Pass, Southeastern High Speed, Kassel-Würzburg, and Spirit of Steam) meaning you can get right into the action mastering the locomotive you want, on the route you want. As an additional bonus, players who already own Southeastern High Speed: St Pancras - Faversham Route Add-on and/or Spirit of Steam: Liverpool Lime Street - Crewe Add-on in Train Sim World 2 will receive the updated versions of these routes for free upon purchasing any copy of Train Sim World 3, including regional starter packs. Train Sim World 3 now has multiple ways to play and gives you the freedom to really customize your experience.
